Slam Dunk Fox Rukawa

"Victory, captain, we have won."

"We won, we beat the Hainan team."

"We are the champions of the county competition." All the players, including the players on the bench, jumped and ran around Rukawa. The excited players shed tears of happiness and looked at Rukawa who was lying on the floor tiredly.

"Rukawa Kaede, we love you." The "Rukawa Ming" on the stage shouted the slogan in unison and hugged each other and jumped for joy. Some of the "Rukawa Ming" were even so excited that they hugged the wrong person and hugged the unknown boy next to them.

, the flying happiness made the boys around them feel that happiness came so suddenly, but many boys were greeted not by flying happiness but by flying dinosaurs, so that they could only run to the side and hold the pillar and vomit.

"I won, it's great." Haruko was so excited that she jumped up and hugged Fujii and Matsui next to her.

"Finally I won." Yayoi Aida stood up excitedly, her excited eyes trying to look through the surrounding crowd to find the figure that often appeared in her dreams. "But isn't it right?" The mature Yayoi Aida suddenly felt as if

Something is wrong.

"No. 4 of Fuqiu Middle School scored a 2-point goal. Fuqiu Middle School and Hainan Affiliated Middle School tied 110 to 110 in regular time. The two sides were tied. After a 3-minute break, the two sides played a 5-minute overtime. Players on the court were asked to exit the court."

At this time, a surprising announcement came from the judging panel.

"What?" The Fuqiu Middle School players who were celebrating wildly around Rukawa and the frustrated Hainan team players simultaneously made voices with the same language but completely different emotions.

The eyes of the whole audience immediately focused on the referee on the court, which made the referee who had officiated countless basketball games break out in a cold sweat. However, his excellent professional quality allowed him to withstand the pressure and continue to maintain his decision. His right hand only

The thumb and index finger are stretched out, and the middle finger that represents three points is firmly bent.

"Just now Rukawa Kaede clearly shot from outside the three-point line. How could it be 2 points? How did you make the penalty?" Coach Sakamoto was the first to challenge the referee.

Perhaps it was because the regular time was over, or the referee himself was a little guilty, so he did not give him a technical foul because the excited coach Sakamoto questioned the referee, but patiently explained: "When player No. 4 took off just now, his right foot was jumping.

I've stepped on the line before."

"How is that possible? Referee, where are your eyes?"

"Is there any mistake? Referee, where were you standing at that time? Can you see clearly whether you stepped on the line or not?"

"That's it, referee, did you receive Hainan's black money?"

"Black whistle, black whistle!"

At this time, although Coach Sakamoto calmed down as a coach and did not continue to question the referee, the majority of "Rukawa Ming" on the sidelines were angry, and even many neutral spectators had doubts about the referee's decision.

"How could this be like this? How could the referee do this? It was obviously a 3-point score, why did he have to change it to 2 points?" Our innocent classmate Haruko Akagi looked at the court with red eyes and sat up after hearing the referee's decision.

Rukawa Kaede also expressed her support.

Unfortunately, this is not an NBA arena. The referee will not go to the sidelines to determine the decision with the help of video playback. The referee on the field insisted on his decision. Rukawa Kaede scored 2 points instead of 3 points because he stepped on the line and shot. The score between the two sides was 110:

110, ready for overtime.

"It's a pity. Rukawa has already scored 82 points in the second half. He almost defeated Hainan by himself. There is a question mark whether Rukawa, who has no physical strength, can continue to play in overtime. Fiqiu is in danger this time. But the referee

The penalty is indeed worthy of scrutiny? When can we introduce a video replay system like the NBA game, so that many vague decisions can be reduced? What do you think, Coach Anxi?" Coach Tian Gang looked at being picked up by his teammates.

Rukawa, who returned to the bench to rest, said to coach Anzai.

"Well, video replay can indeed make the game more accurate and exciting, but this is not something we can decide. We can only make suggestions to the National Basketball Association." Coach Anxi has obviously seen many such controversial final judgments.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and drink some water to replenish your energy. Rukawa Kaede has no energy left. We are sure to win in the remaining 5 minutes." The head coach of the Hainan team also obviously noticed the scene of Rukawa being helped down, which was very important to Hainan.

The players of the Hainan team, including Qingtian, were very excited when they heard the coach's encouragement. Although they also felt exhausted, they did not think that Fuqiu's players could be better than them, but they looked at Fuqiu's bench.

When Liuchuan sat paralyzed there, their eyes were filled with admiration for the strong. Yes, it was worship. Liuchuan almost single-handedly overthrew Hainan, which made them feel helpless hatred and recognition at the same time.

The fact that he and Rukawa do not belong to the same level.

"Huh... Huh... Huh... Huh..." After Rukawa was carried back to the bench by his teammates, he kept taking deep breaths in an attempt to regain the strength that he could no longer feel. "It's over now. I didn't have any physical strength in the first place.

I relied on a will to support me to complete the game. I was really careless just now. I don’t know if I stepped on the line. And after I thought I won the game, my whole body relaxed. Now I can’t even pick up my spirits." Rukawa now regrets it very much.

I was relieved just now because I was celebrating the end of the game before the result of the game was determined.

"Rukawa, can you still play?" Coach Sakamoto asked Rukawa hopefully. The Tomigaoka Middle School players who were all recovering their strength also looked at Rukawa with hopeful eyes because of Sakamoto's question.

"Well, I can definitely do it, don't worry." Rukawa replied pretending to be relaxed, but Coach Sakamoto noticed that Rukawa's legs were still shaking slightly as he forced a smile. Coach Sakamoto, who has been doing sports for most of his life, knew that this was physical exertion.

He was suffering from symptoms of exhaustion. But he looked at Rukawa and did not continue to ask. He just encouraged the Fuqiu Middle School players one by one.

The 3-minute break passed quickly. The organizing committee deliberately did not calculate the time lost by arguing about the referee's decision. In fact, 10 minutes had passed since the end of the regular time. However, Rukawa still felt that the time was too short and recovered by himself.

His physical strength seems to be barely enough to allow him to stand up.

After the referee signaled the players from both sides to enter the field, Rukawa Kaede took a deep breath, put his hands on his hands, and stood up.

"Let's go, come on." The firm tone made it impossible to tell that Rukawa had actually run out of gas. "Yes, captain." The other four players seemed to gain strength from Rukawa's firm steps and followed.

Follow the Rukawa River onto the court.

"What, Rukawa Kaede is on the stage again."

"No way, wasn't he helped out just now? How could he recover his strength in such a short period of time?"

There was a lot of discussion in the stadium because Rukawa played again.

"Kaede." Haruko looked at Rukawa's seemingly determined but actually slow pace, with tears in her eyes. She bit her upper lip to prevent herself from crying. She encouraged herself in her heart: "You can't cry.

Haruko, you can't cry. If you cry, you won't be able to see Brother Feng's fighting figure clearly." Haruko wiped away the hot tears from her eyes firmly. Although her lips were bitten into a deep red color and blood was about to appear, she did not cry.

He came out and stared at Rukawa on the field as if he didn't even blink.

Looking at Rukawa's tall figure, Aida Yayoi's inner resistance to Rukawa because of the age difference melted away like arctic snowflakes bathing in the Hawaiian islands in August.

Caiko stared at Rukawa's figure intently, just like when she was still in Tomigaoka Middle School half a year ago. Although Rukawa didn't express anything to her, she just liked to watch Rukawa who was playing seriously like this, and she couldn't explain why.

Although Miyagi Ryota next to Ayako was still jealous of Rukawa, the initial jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Rukawa was no longer there. There was only recognition of Rukawa. Miyagi secretly vowed to defeat Rukawa Kaede head-on and win the championship.

Ayako's heart.

The Hainan team's players were extremely shocked when they saw Rukawa Kaede walking towards them. Unlike the audience on the sidelines, they were in close contact and watched Rukawa being helped off the field, who was helpless just a few minutes ago.

, and now he can still play and continue playing.

"Rukawa Kaede." Although Qingtian still refused to convince others, he could not say rubbish.

As the Hainan team sent a baseline kick, the overtime began. After the Hainan team passed several passes, although Rukawa was not around the ball holder, it more or less affected the Hainan players. They always

After getting the chance, he had to observe Rukawa's position. He was very afraid that Rukawa would steal the ball again, but Rukawa just made a gesture towards them to run towards them and took at most 2 steps. Rukawa didn't have the physical strength to do it.

I ran after the basketball. Finally, when 30 seconds were about to end, Ibuki Mina barely managed to shoot and hit the bottom edge of the basket. The basketball fell into the hands of Konno who was resisting Ibuki.

Konno passed the ball to Kusanagi Takeshi, who dribbled the ball to Hainan's half. After passing the ball back and forth with Osamu Honda twice, he handed the ball to Nishitani Hiroaki who used the three-point line to cover and walked out of the open space.

In Rukawa Kaede's hands, Rukawa really stepped out of the empty space, because he didn't have any physical strength to run at all. Even when he walked, one foot was high and the other was low, as if he were stepping on cotton. After receiving the pass from Cao Cao Yi,

Rukawa didn't make a fake move. He stood at the three-point line and shot the ball based on his feeling. Although he didn't take off, Rukawa shot the ball very quickly. The basketball dodged the block of Nobunaga Kiyota who took off in the air.

Qingtian, who could not hold back his body, hit Rukawa, who was unable to move. Rukawa was immediately knocked to the ground, although Qingta tried his best to avoid contact when he landed and dodged most of his body.

"Bi" the referee blew his whistle. Following the referee's gesture, the commentary box announced through the radio: "White No. 10 Hainan Team's Kiyota Nobunaga fouled and left the field with 5 fouls. Green No. 4 Tomigaoka Middle School Kaede Rukawa scored a 3-pointer."

, one additional free throw.”

Kiyota did not protest to the referee because he was sent off. He just raised his hand to accept the punishment. He looked at Rukawa Kaede who was still lying on the floor. He was unruly and felt that he had been defeated for the first time, so completely.

.

Rukawa Kaede lay on the floor and did not get up for a long time. He also tried hard to straighten his legs in pain because both of his legs were cramping at the same time. Caoyuan Yi and the others rushed over next to him. Caoyuan Yi held down Rukawa and Honda.

Osamu lifted Rukawa's left leg, and Nishitani Hiroaki lifted Rukawa's right leg. They tried hard to help Rukawa relieve the pain. Tonight Shirou, who did not help, grabbed Kiyota Nobunaga who was standing aside with his backhand and yelled: "Boy,

Did you do it on purpose?" But Qingtian didn't react at all, and he weakly moved his hands away tonight, because he knew that Qingtian couldn't be blamed for this at all.

The referee stopped the game. Instead of telling Qingtian to leave the field quickly, he ran around Rukawa and asked about Rukawa's situation.

"The game is suspended. The No. 4 player of Tomigaoka Middle School, Kaede Rukawa, seems to be unable to move due to cramps in his legs." Following the announcement from the referee's seat, the entire audience looked at Rukawa, who was receiving treatment in the middle of the field.

After 5 minutes of treatment, Rukawa's cramped legs were finally able to stand up with the help of two people. Although his weak legs made his whole body lean on the two Fuqiu Middle School teammates who were supporting him.

Of course, Rukawa, who could no longer stand, could not continue the game, and even the penalty kick that he was supposed to execute could not be done. Coach Sakamoto replaced Rukawa with substitute small forward Shigetake Nakahara.

Rukawa returned to the bench with the support of two teammates, leaving him with 85 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 11 steals, and 10 blocked shots in the first half. His opponent, Hainan ace player Kiyota Nobunaga, only scored in the second half.

A monster performance with 2 points and 5 fouls on the field.

But Rukawa, who was lying on the bench, watched his team. Although Xiu scored a penalty kick made by Rukawa today, Fuqiu led the Hainan team 114 to 110, but the huge difference in overall strength made the 5-minute overtime end.

At that time, the score was 123:118. The Hainan team won the final game with a 5-point advantage. Rukawa Kaede tasted the first defeat in his life.
